About me
I'm an integrative counsellor committed to offering careful, considered listening to the backdrop of professional skills and a wealth of experience working with people in personal times of need.
I aim to curate a space for each individual by providing a natural, gentle, empathetic, professional and safe space to all who come for therapy.
I'm a fully registered member of the BACP.
Training and Practice:
I'm trained in a variety of modalities, such as: Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Gestalt, Existential, Choice Theory, Psychodynamic, and more.
I can help specifically with: depression, anxiety, low mood, low motivation, loss, grief, attachment wounds, identity, self-esteem, trauma, relational crises, family issues, receiving a new diagnosis (including Autism or ADHD), facing a health diagnosis or illness (that may be your own, or even that of a loved one), and challenges associated with long-term health conditions.
As an integrative counsellor I have a wide and varied skill-set which allows me to employ the particular modality or intervention which best suits your individual needs. This also allows space for a therapeutic approach to change or vary as your needs evolve during the therapeutic process.
Collaborating with you, being client-led, and respecting the uniqueness and value of each individual is at the core of my practice.
Is counselling for me?
The human experience inevitability includes seasons of difficulty, and therapy is an empowering tool that can helps us remember, rebuild and restore our incredible strength and capacity for resilience in the face of struggles.
I have received some training with a Christian worldview, but I work openly with people from all backgrounds and faiths.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
